Thanks, Mary Frances—it's good to hear someone else's experience with it. My Dr. may bring the dose down. I do need to consider that. I had to cut my blood pressure medicine because it did lower it too much also. I have a tremor that the Mirapex has stopped most of the time. It does come back a couple times a day for a bit, and can be quite bad. I was worried it would be worse if I lowered the dose, but it's only a guess. I work as an artist, and though the tremor stops when I move, it can hinder me. I can walk stairs more readily, but some of my muscle rigidity hasn't improved much. How are you responding to the Mirapex, and is that all you take for the Parkinson's?
Thank you so much for your kind response. All the best to you.

(It takes me a bit to write my answers. Last year I had surgery for a brain aneurysm, and have had a couple small strokes, and problems with aphasia. This is not the cause of the Parkinson's however).
